2002 Nissan Pulsar Plus review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 8/10

Speakers and headset unit work better than they would in most cars of this age.

Practicality: 10/10

Interior colour isn’t that nice but with a few floor mats it’s perfect. Boot size is awesome for prams and shopping.

Driving: 10/10

The gearing is amazing and being able to change gears myself is better for fuel economy and comfort.

Running costs: 10/10

Cost of fuel per week is only around $80-90 and range is between 700 and 1000km.

Reliability: 10/10

Hasn’t missed a beat and even small things are fine and easy to fix if you have the knowledge.
